Two More Batches Of Carcinogen-Tainted School Uniforms Uncovered In Shanghai

ANOTHER two batches of school uniforms produced by a Shanghai garment company have been found to contain cancer-causing dyes, city quality authorities said yesterday.

A police investigation into the supplier, Shanghai Ouxia Clothing Co Ltd, is also under way, the city government said. Disciplinary supervision authorities are also investigating whether officials allowed the substandard uniforms to enter school campuses.

The city's quality watchdog conducted tests on 106 batches of uniforms from Shanghai Ouxia, the supplier found to have used banned aromatic amine dyes in earlier checks, and two batches were found to contain the carcinogenic substance, the authorities said.

All of the company's remaining clothing and fabric materials have been sealed by quality officials in the Pudong New Area where the company is located.
